Robert Clinton Box, 55, was shot and killed on May 29, 2015, outside his rural home near Grants Pass, Oregon, after a late-night domestic disturbance call. Dispatchers told troopers that Box’s adult daughter, who uses a wheelchair, had fled the house and reported she’d been assaulted. Troopers Gregor Smyth and Heather West confronted Box as he approached with a handgun; investigators say they fired 11 rounds, striking him at the scene. Authorities reported Box had pointed a loaded .44 Magnum despite commands not to touch the weapon.

Prosecutors reviewed the shooting and concluded the troopers’ use of force was justified; no criminal charges were filed and there were no arrests. The family pursued a civil wrongful-death case. Questions raised in internal records and court filings about Smyth’s prior tactical removals from the state police SWAT team have kept scrutiny on how the confrontation unfolded that night. Did anyone in the area witness events near the Box home on May 29, 2015, or have information about what led to the disturbance?
